    Although I know there are multiple Fresh Monkey locations, the one in Wethersfield was their first location, and so I decided to make the trip! Located in a shopping plaza on Silas Deane Highway, the inside is pretty large and nicely decorated. They have an area right when you walk in that's more cozy, with a couch and couple of lounge chairs. The also have a few regular tables to sit at. I went on a Saturday late morning, and the place wasn't too busy. There was only one employee working, but she kept up with the orders and the service was fast. I ordered the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Moon, which had chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, chocolate cookie, banana, and strawberries. It was delicious! And filling! I like that they use all fresh fruit and no artificial flavors or syrups. I would definitely recommend any Fresh Monkee location, but this one especially, for a healthy, wholesome shake!

    Went on my lunch break for a refreshing treat and I wasn't disappointed.The service was fast and my shake was delicious. I ordered a small watermelon lemonade and I would definitely ask for the large next time , because it was so good ! My friend had a small watermelon with coconut and she loved it also.

    I ordered a lime green mango shake/smoothie this morning. There was no wait and the service was friendly. The decor - monkey and jungle themed. It had apple, apple juice, lime, mango, chia seed, flax seed, and spinach. I may have missed something. It tasted good. I noticed apple, mango and lime flavors the most. The texture was smooth, yet a bit pulpy, which is to be expected given the ingredients. I drank about a 1/3 of it and will save the rest for tomorrow. Good 4 Star experience

    We went the other Saturday to the Fresh Monkey on the Silas Deane and Allie L. made our smoothies. Not only was Allie friendly, positive, and professional, but she made the most delicious smoothies for me and my two boys. It was my boys first time going to a Fresh Monkey and they said they loved their experience!

    Just a great Fresh Monkee location in my hometown of Wethersfield. Easily accessible from the highway, it is right on the Silas Deane, but also hides in plain sight. I have came here multiple times and every single visit my order comes out the same and my military discount is honored everytime no issues. I never had an issue in regard to waiting time, it is either immediately or reasonable considering the situation as sometimes it is very busy in the morning. I would say this is one of Fresh Monkee's "tighter" locations but there are a few chairs and a sofa for you to enjoy your shake. Typically I order a Dirty Monkey w/almond milk, extra scoop of vegan protein powder and no chocolate syrup. Comes out perfect every single time and this consistency is important as one time at one of their other locations the consistency was horrible and was not blended completely which did not help the situation. So yes, this is my go to Fresh Monkee location and in my own experience they are the most consistent one as well.

    Soon moving to the TJ Maxx plaza, this is the OG Fresh Monkee location and the staff here is just wonderful (like every other reviewer says). I thought this location was quite small compared to the new ones, so I'm happy and excited they're getting a bigger space! If you're in need of a quick, grab & go lunch while you're out running errands, The Fresh Monkee is a great choice! The protein content in the snack size fills me up and tastes like a dessert! I always go for the Hazlenut Monkee but you can't go wrong with anything PB flavored, especially if you aren't crazy about the taste of whey protein. Give this a try ASAP!

    Very comfy spot.

    My sister wanted to take me to The Fresh Monkee to try there protein drinks. All the drinks are healthy and good for you. It's perfect place to stop after you work out. The drinks are very filling and provide all the nutrients you need to sustain your energy levels and it's healthy for you after a workout or to curb your appetite. My sister ordered the Filthy Monkee and I had the Chunky Monkee. My protein drink taste like a reese cup. The workers were very gracious and welcoming and knowledgeable about all the meal Replacement Shakes the ambiance was very eclectic, comfy & cozy. They have three localocation's, Weatherfield CT, Glastonbury CT and Berlin Tnpk and there 4th location will be Southington CT 405 Queen Street. They also give you an reward card so after you purchase 8 drinks you will get one free Snack Recovery or Meal Replacement Shakes. and they offer eCard that you can use when purchasing your shakes. I will definately be returning to The Fresh Monkee.

    Are the folks at The Fresh Monkee the nicest people in Connecticut? They just might be!!! No, for real. I went to the Wethersfield location this afternoon and was very warmly greeted by the two young women working today. They helpfully explained the menu and offered up some favorite choices. I picked the chocolate pumpkin smoothie and asked for coconut milk as a substitute. I was impressed that I was told which other ingredients included some form of dairy, trace or otherwise. The finished product was perfect. My only regret was that there isn't a Fresh Monkee closer to me. Quick note, TFM is easy to miss tucked into a plaza, so slow down and look for it. You will be happy you stopped!!

    Smores smoothie
    Amie L.

    Stop in here after work the other day to pick up a smoothie since I had errands to run and wouldn't be having dinner till late. The staff member was very helpful and friendly. She happily answered all my questions. Having read the reviews before going I knew they had a 24oz smoothie size, even though it was not on the menu nor did the staff mention it. I got the 24oz smores smoothie with almond milk. It was good but had a little chalky taste from the protein powder. Please note the menu doesn't include prices and since I only got the 24oz I was thinking it would be around $4 something. Boy was I wrong. The reason I am giving them only 3 stars is mainly because I feel though the smoothie was good it was not worth the $6 and change price tag. While I did enjoy my smoothie at that price I don't think I will be back.

    Friendly and fun spot. Staff is incredibly nice and genuinely enthusiastic about their smoothies.

    My friend and I love açaí bowls. Last week when we got together we stopped by Liquid Nirvana in…read moreGlastonbury to get a couple of bowls. We were here once before a few years ago. We went inside. They have large boards with some inspirational words left by guests. They have some games and a few tables for seating. I decided to go with the Just Peachy bowl, this has peach, papaya, dates, banana, strawberry and coconut. My friend got the Tropical Paradise, hers came with açaí, almond milk, banana and blueberry. We waited for around 20 minutes for our bowls to be ready. Mine was a nice yellow color, topped with strawberries, banana and coconut. It looked absolutely delicious. I had my first bite, this tasted like nothing... I went for another spoonful, I couldn't taste the peach at all, or the papaya. All I could taste was a bit of the banana. I took my bowl to the register. There were three high school aged girls. I told them "hi I'm sorry, this isn't good at all. I can't taste the peach." Girl A, asks the other two, "who made it?" One of them raises her hand. "I did" I'm not sure why it matters who made it, the point is it isn't good. All three of them are staring at me. Girl B, says " I'm not sure why you can't taste the peach, we followed the recipe." They didn't do anything for me in regards to the bad tasting bowl. It got pretty awkward when they all stared at me with their arms folded. I sat back down, I was pretty angry. My friend shared her bowl with me, hers was really tasty, rich in blueberry and açaí, just as it should be. I will not be returning to this Liquid Nirvana again. I had about three spoons of my Just Peachy bowl, and my friend had one, just to confirm that it had no taste. The rest was sadly in the trash. UPDATE Since I wrote my review, the owner Rosy, has reached out and offered her sincerest apologies for the way that the situation was handled on my most recent visit to Liquid Nirvana. She said that she could see that some more training of the young people working there was necessary. She refunded my friend's credit card, who purchased our bowls, without me or my friend even asking her to do so. Her efforts to execute me a satisfied customer, were genuine and so much appreciated! I will for sure be revisiting the Glastonbury location and the brand new Farmington location. For the above reasons I am updating my review to 5 stars!

    I am a DoorDash driver, and this was one of the most disrespectful experiences I've had while…read morepicking up an order. When I arrived, the order was not ready and was still being prepared. Since I knew I would be waiting, I politely asked if I could use the restroom. I was told no. I initially assumed there had been a misunderstanding, so I explained that I wasn't a random passerby looking for a public restroom. I was there to pick up an active DoorDash order and would be waiting while they finished preparing it. Unlike employees who have a workplace with designated break areas and restroom access, delivery drivers spend their entire workday on the road. We don't have a home base to return to between orders. Because of that, we often rely on the basic courtesy of restaurants and businesses we partner with while conducting pickups and deliveries. Most businesses understand this and treat drivers respectfully. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. What happened next was what bothered me most. Rather than simply explaining their policy and treating me with basic courtesy, the employees largely stopped engaging with me altogether. They avoided eye contact, ignored my attempts to communicate, and acted as though I wasn't standing there. It was an incredibly dehumanizing experience. After waiting several more minutes, I said, "I could have been done by now." The only response I received was, "It's not for the public." I again explained that I was there for an active pickup and was waiting on an order that still wasn't ready. Once again, I was met with silence. To be clear, I completely understand that businesses located on busy commercial streets cannot allow every random person who walks in off the street to use their restroom. That's not what this situation was. I was there performing a service directly connected to their business. DoorDash drivers are part of the fulfillment process that allows restaurants to participate in DoorDash, reach additional customers, and generate revenue from delivery orders. I wasn't asking for special treatment--just the basic courtesy of using the restroom while waiting on an order that they were still preparing. What makes this even more frustrating is that if the order had been ready when I arrived, I would have already been gone. The only reason I was standing there waiting was because of the restaurant's delay. At that point, I decided to unassign myself from the order, even though it was a high-paying delivery. If a business is unwilling to show basic respect to the drivers helping deliver its orders, then it can find someone else to complete those deliveries. I will also be reporting this experience to DoorDash so they are aware of how drivers are being treated at this location. To fellow Dashers: I strongly encourage you to decline orders from this establishment and spend your time supporting businesses that treat delivery drivers with professionalism and basic human dignity. To potential customers: please consider whether this is the kind of business you want to support. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, including the people helping get your food to your door.
